I was honored to be invited to your farewell party. In the little over a year you've been here, you've made some friends in the online community. Respect and fondness is a little hard to come by on the internet (especially if you're mod!).Just remember, you achieved the impossible! Nay, a miracle!
Good luck at your new position. I hope you have as much fun with it as you did with us ( half of whom are old coots). And like RD says, come back and disappeareded somebody every now and then just for old times sake.

Thanks for keeping a cool,level head when us children started acting out in the playground.

I found you fair and reasonable. Not typical characteristics of a person of your gender.

Now don't get your panties in a bunch. That was a joke!

You were neither fair nor reasonable.

We will miss your smiling face
But we know you have to go
'Cause we know you need to grow!

Best of luck with the new career Whitney!

Roe, we better watch out
While wearing this face
That we don't say something
To bring disgrace
We don't want to be guilty
Of defamation
Of a character with such
A fine reputation
Of course if we do
Raise much of a fuss
Whitney can always
Disappeareded us!

Whitney passed by me just up the street from that store that sells kayaks.
How come there is no a golf store downtown, but two stores on the north side of town that sell kayaks?
I have to head to the south end of town to buy golf balls.

Must be the proximity of the Kaw?
